Abstract: A method of removing pollutants from flue gas includes cooling the flue gas to remove condensed water. The flue gas is then compressed and dehydrated. The dehydrated flue gas is chilled to separate pollutants.

Abstract: A method of capturing and converting a gas includes supplying a first gas to an adsorption column, adsorbing a first component of the first gas into an adsorbent contained in the adsorption column responsive to the adsorbent having an increased affinity for the first component, venting a second component of the first gas out of the adsorption column, supplying a second gas to the adsorption column so as to increase a partial pressure of the second gas thereby decreasing the partial pressure of the first component within the adsorption column, desorbing the first component from the adsorbent responsive to the increased partial pressure of the second gas and decreased partial pressure of the at least one first component, and transmitting a mixture of the first component and the second gas to a reactor via a reactor line.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are new methods, machines, processes, and systems for separating molecules by determining better materials and process optimization conditions. As a result of these advances, this disclosure provides improved carbon dioxide capture, better flue gas treatments, and more efficient methods of purifying gases have been developed. Optimal sorbents can be obtained by using a computational screening method that selects microporous structures (e.g. zeolites and metal-organic frameworks) from a database of materials with the greatest potential for cost-effective separations. The disclosed methods are the first to consider both the size and shape of the adsorbent material. This is also the first disclosure to consider the process application and cost when selecting which material to use.
